Just run in 3drad editor, simple instructions on screen :)

1. Click on terrain to set PATH origin
2. Click Q save waypoint
3. Repeat Click and Q until your path is complete
4. Hit Esc
5. Open MyPath.txt, copy & paste into a path object.
6. Place path object at first coordinate.

It saves a file called MyPath.txt in your 3dRad folder, just copy paste the contents into a path object.

Save _patheditor.3dr in your projects folder.

Have fun :)

I had the feeling that you would be working on something like this when the question of a path editor was first raised in the Future Developments board.

Saved us all a few bucks with this!
 Just shows what can be done by applying what we have already!

Excellent work, Shadmar!

I think its not about the cash, its about the interest we have (especially shadmar in this case) in working with 3D Rad and creating really interesting projects (not only spend the entire day at the forum moaning for more features, as happens at other indie places ;) ).

can we create paths using our own rigidbodies instead of the terrain? will it read the altitude?

Thank you :)
This is a very fast and elegant way of drawing a path.
Are you working on pathfinding too?
(I'm actualy doing a primitive A* pathfinding... :) )

Yes, it "picks" the terrain so altitude is read. Just replace the current terrain with your own, check the script at top :

int terrain =OBJ_44;  - make sure this is true after you change terrain/RB.
int line     =OBJ_22;
int cursor  =OBJ_0;
int marker  =OBJ_110;
